This $238,061 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking (SMART) under the Support for Adam Walsh Act Implementation Grant Program (CFDA 16.750) will enable the Michigan State Police to enhance the Michigan Sex Offender Registry (MSOR) system. Specifically, the funding will be used to improve in-person compliance checks, increase digital signing capabilities, enhance data entry processes, and identify noncompliant registrants. The grant will also support a consulting review of the MSOR system and processes to provide recommendations for process improvements and future system needs. The award period is from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.

Michigan state police will use AWA funds to ensure sorna compliance by enhancing the michigan SEX offender registry (MSOR) for efficient in-person checks, increased digital signing capabilities, and improved data entry with moveable POP-up data grids. Funding will be used to identify registrants who failed to verify or absconded within the last year. Michigan state police troopers with the emergency services team will conduct state-wide quality assurance checks and update these records. Finally, funds will be used for the procurement of a consulting company to review the MSOR system and SOR unit processes, provide process improvement recommendations and future systematic needs.
